Glucose Drink - can I refrigerate?

Chattsgirl · October 2011

I had my OB appt yesterday (25 weeks). Baby girl is doing great, HR in the 150s, she was moving around like crazy.

They gave me the glucose drink to take home at the end of the appt. My test is on Oct 24. Can I refrigerate it? Last time I did the test I went to the lab and the drink they gave me was cold, so I am assuming I can. I have a call in to the Dr to make sure, but wondering if you girls that already had the test could help me out?

I haven't had the test, but have had that drink in my fridge for a week now. Doctor said I can refrigerate if I wanted.

I take my test on Monday and my drink has been sitting in the fridge since the last appointment. They specifically told me to put it in the fridge because it would taste better if it were cold.

Great, thanks Ladies!! Dr. just called back and said I can put it in the fridge. Agree, it probably def. tastes better cold.

I took mine this am. Def put it in the fridge. My drink was orange and it tasted like orange soda. It wasn't as bad as everyone says. It goes down really quick nice and cold! Good Luck!
